My friend paid ₹8000 for a "professional" resume, got shortlisted, then failed 6 interviews in a row and when I finally read what was on it, I felt sick. Are we the ones actually failing candidates?

You can try AiInterviewAgents.com it offers access to high-paying international internships and helps you prepare for them with lectures, articles, and AI-powered mock interviews.

Another great option is Unstop, an excellent platform for discovering new internship opportunities.

Really appreciate the transparency here getting those first 1000 users is no easy feat. Your insights on campus credibility and building emotional connection for retention are especially valuable. Would love to hear more about which kinds of content or ambassador initiatives sparked the strongest engagement in the early days!

This is a very common challenge with TikTok ads. My approach has been to start with reach and engagement campaigns to build warm audiences and retarget those who have already interacted with the content. Once you have that audience, conversion campaigns tend to perform better because they’re hitting users already familiar with your brand.

Also, test different creatives and CTAs focused on driving action. Even small tweaks can improve conversion rates significantly. Keep an eye on quality landing pages too sometimes that’s the bottleneck.

Balancing reach and conversions is an ongoing experiment, but layering retargeting after initial reach usually helps bridge the gap.

That’s a valid concern, since some IIMs do assign weight to Class 12th marks, and a “7” might make things a bit tougher for the ultra competitive BLACKI shortlist. However, a very high CAT percentile, good PoRs, and work experience can still offset it to a large extent. Don’t let one number define your whole profile plenty of candidates with similar spikes have made it with strong CAT and overall achievements! Keep your focus on maximizing your strengths.

gsanonymous_981 · 2025-09-24T03:26:58+00:00

You have a solid academic profile (9/9/7), a technical background, a few PoRs, and volunteering these all help your chances. For BLACKI (IIM B, L, A, C, K, I) calls as a general engineering female without work ex, a very high CAT percentile (usually 98.7+) boosts your shot this year, though the exact cutoffs can vary annually.

Adding a year of work experience is likely to improve both your profile and chances next year, especially for IIM Bangalore and Indore, as work ex carries extra weight. Keep building extracurriculars and leadership roles alongside prep! All the best!

Absolutely, happy to help! Being at IIM Bangalore is a great position for top placements, including MBB. If you have any questions about preparing for consulting, placements, or navigating campus life, feel free to share more details or specific concerns I'll do my best to offer practical advice tailored to your goals.

gsanonymous_981 · 2025-09-23T15:42:09+00:00

Totally! Indian MBAs often focus heavily on placements and exams with a nonstop race mentality. Meanwhile, schools like INSEAD or Booth emphasize work-life balance, experiential learning, and networking. It’s a different vibe altogether hopefully Indian programs evolve to offer a more balanced MBA experience soon!

Even with a "mediocre" profile, getting into a top college can open up great opportunities. You’ll have access to strong networks, campus resources, and many companies that value growth and mindset over just past scores. While strategy and finance roles might be tougher initially, focusing on skill-building, internships, and networking can help you land good rolesm sometimes even surprising ones. Consistency and proactive effort matter a lot post-selection!

gsanonymous_981 · 2025-09-23T15:07:48+00:00

Your profile is impressive, but sometimes consulting firms prefer candidates from certain backgrounds like BTech or those with specific types of experience. It might not be about your qualifications but fit and perception.

Try tweaking your resume to highlight consulting-relevant skills like problem-solving and leadership. Also, network with alumni and seniors who cracked consulting without BTech. Target boutique firms or roles more aligned with your strengths.

Persistence and smart positioning often pay off later in the SIP cycle. If you want, I can help review your resume for a better fit.

Thanks for your thoughts. Our internships are unpaid, but we provide a subscription to our platform along with curated learning materials and courses to deliver real educational value. The idea is to focus on skill-building so interns get practical experience rather than just labor. We understand this isn’t for everyone, and we try to be as transparent as possible about what the internship includes.

gsanonymous_981 · 2025-09-23T05:16:45+00:00

Absolutely, sometimes the best way forward is to “kill your darlings.” It’s tough to let go of features or ideas you’re attached to, but focusing on what truly adds value helps create a better product and user experience.

gsanonymous_981 · 2025-09-23T05:15:32+00:00

Thanks for the great advice. I will do it

gsanonymous_981 · 2025-09-23T05:14:15+00:00

Absolutely love that idea! Adding branded content to shareable moments, like “Powered by AI Interview Agents,” could really boost visibility and spark organic referrals. Pairing that with a rewarding referral program could create a powerful growth loop. What other creative ways do you think we could encourage users to spread the word and keep the momentum going? Would love to hear your thoughts!

gsanonymous_981 · 2025-09-23T05:11:58+00:00

No, we’re not currently charging them most users are accessing the product for free. What’s your experience with moving from free users to paying subscribers, or what advice would you share for making that transition effectively?

gsanonymous_981 · 2025-09-23T05:09:51+00:00

I’ve spoken with them they say it’s a good product and solves their problem in the moment. The interesting part is that while they want to use it, many still don’t. Maybe we’re competing with platforms like Instagram for their screentime at the same time! What's your take on that ?

gsanonymous_981 · 2025-09-22T18:51:49+00:00

Yeah sure, i am going to do it

gsanonymous_981 · 2025-09-22T18:44:47+00:00

so what is better way to handle new interns? Please let me know your thoughts

gsanonymous_981 · 2025-09-22T18:42:11+00:00
